Patent attributes
A printing device, which reduces weight and space while ensuring excellent stability, includes a medium conveyance section on which a workpiece such as a fabric can be set, a fixed side structure for supporting the same, and a head for performing printing onto the workpiece. When the power supply to the device is switched off, the medium conveyance section is at a first position so as to be within the fixed side structure. When a workpiece is set on, or removed from the medium conveyance section, the medium conveyance section is at a second position so as to project partially from one side of the fixed side structure. During a printing operation, the medium conveyance section moves from the second position, to a third position where it projects partially to the second side, and return again to the second position where it projects partially to the second side.
